Peripheral
neuropathy describes damage to the peripheral nervous system, which
transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to every other part
of the body.
More than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy have
been identified, each with its own characteristic set of symptoms,
pattern of development, and prognosis. Impaired function and symptoms
depend on the type of nerves -- motor, sensory, or autonomic -- that are
damaged. Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and
pricking sensations, sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. Others
may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at
night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction.
Peripheral neuropathy may be either inherited or acquired. Causes of
acquired peripheral neuropathy include physical injury (trauma) to a
nerve, tumors, toxins, autoimmune responses, nutritional deficiencies,
alcoholism, and vascular and metabolic disorders. Acquired peripheral
neuropathies are caused by systemic disease, trauma from external
agents, or infections or autoimmune disorders affecting nerve tissue.
Inherited forms of peripheral neuropathy are caused by inborn mistakes
in the genetic code or by new genetic mutations.
Is there any treatment?
Chiropractic
brain based therapy helps in adopting healthy habits -- such as
maintaining optimal weight, avoiding exposure to toxins, following a
physician-supervised exercise program, eating a balanced diet,
correcting vitamin deficiencies, and limiting or avoiding alcohol
consumption -- can reduce the physical and emotional effects of
peripheral neuropathy. Systemic diseases frequently require more
complex treatments.
There are therapies for many forms.
